How to read skin care ingredients| Dr Dray

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 ก.ค. 2024
- Emollients soften and smooth skin: coconut oil, jojoba oil, sesame oil, almond oil, other plant oils, squalene, olive oil/oleic acid, cetearyl alcohol, cetyl alcohol , stearic acid, stearyl alcohol
Occlusives seal in moisture and create a protective barrier: shea butter, cocoa butter, mineral oil, lanolin, petrolatum, paraffin, beeswax, triethylhexanoin
*NB: Occlusive does not mean “pore clogging”
Humectants attract water to the skin: glycerin, propylene glycol, sorbitol, sodium PCA, hyaluronic acid, allantoin, urea
Surfactants dissolve dirt and oils and are used in cleansers. They also make things feel slippery and glide on easily: sodium laureth sulfate, cocomidopropyl betaine, disodium cocamphodiacetate, ammonium laurel sulfate, polysorbate 85 or polysorbate 60, sodium lauryl sulfate, cocamide DEA
Binders and emulsifiers create a stable mixture of different ingredients: butylene glycol (also a humectant), polysorbates, glyceryl stearate (also an emollient and makes things pearly), cetearyl alcohol (emollient tood), cetyl alcohol (emollient too) , stearic acid (surfactant & emollient too), stearyl alcohol (emollient too), PEG or PEG-100 stearate (emollient & surfactant too), Triethanolamine (buffer too), palmitates (emollients too), Ceteareth 20
Texturizes thicken or add slippage to a product, so it can be smoothly applied: alkyl benzoate (also an emollient), carbomer, polymers (PEG or seaweed), dimethicone & cyclomethicone (both silicones that are also emollients), polysorbate 20 & 80 (surfactants too), pentaerythrityl tetraotanoate, caprylic and succinic triglycerides (emollients too), sodium chloride
Buffers neutralize acid and balance the pH of a product, making it less irritating: sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, triethanolamine
Preservatives kill bacteria and prevent contamination: Tocopherol acetate (vitamin E derivative; emollients and antioxidant), propylene and butylene glycols (humectants), disodium and tetrasodium EDTA, diazolidiyl and imidazolydyl urea, parabens, methyliosthiazolinone, ascorbyl palmitate (vitamin C derivative), benzoic acid, benzyl alcohol

Dr Dray needs her own skincare line ❤️
i second this!
Yasss! Please :)
Dara C I third this !
Oil cleanser, gentle cleanser, mineral sunscreen, soothing moisturizer with niacinamide, allantoin, glycerin, occlusive and maybe some of her favorites botanical extracts : soy, rice, aloe, licorice, green tea in a seperate moisturizer for the botanicals fans.
I would buy the whole line!!!
Could you please do a video on just top 10 ingredients to avoid in skin care so it’s easier to remember and understand. So thankful for all your work you do for us!
Maria Yaroshenko yes! I think a great “Top 10 to avoid” and/or “Top 10 Sound Scary but Aren’t!” Ingredients videos would be great!!
Read the description and she has all the ingrediants she talked about. I screenshotted so i can bring it with me everywhere😂 but yes good idea!
U can find a list online
If the description just doesn't satisfy your request.... take notes. You could take a walk down memory lane to your school days and find it nostalgic, not to mention, you can format it in any way you want.
Wow!! The dedication on your description was unbelievable! Thank you for writing it down so we can read it hundred of times. Thank you thank you so much for the effort. Definitely this video is on my top 5 favorite skin care advice. ❤
:)
Sigrid - I agree! A lot of valuable info to read and reread. Thank you Dr. Dray!
Did a research project on parabens and the conclusion was exactly what you said. So many people in the class I presented too were shocked. People should do research instead of listening to idiots online who claim parabens are bad.
Yeah it drives me nuts, lol
Agreed. Many people would rather trust ads rather than scientific research results.
but in google,they said paraben can cause hormonal imbalances and even breast cancer...so how did they said it??is google real??
@@NusratJahan-lc3im don't rely on Google solely do your independent research n empower yourself
I love arguing with people now about skin care and then backing up my debate with actual scientific tidbits from the good doc we have here. Love all your videos! Thanks!
:)
You are amazing. You are the best thing on TH-cam...period.
Thanks!
Thanks Girl 💯
I'm getting so educated in skincare. I do work in skincare in the retail world. You are helping me to do my job better. Plus I just love being smarter. Thank you Dr. Dray for your amazing videos!
I can't thank you enough for not only this video, but listing the information in the description box. You are a savior...saving money and saving faces! You are so appreciated, Dr. Dray!
Thank you so much for this video and the notes! Recently, I was scared into the thought of having to go 100% natural with everything because all these ingredients are bad. This helps me to realize what ingredients are really okay. So many people spread false information to scare you into buying other things. Thank you!!
Thanks for this. It is so important to consider what you put in your body and what you put on your skin. Everyone should read ingredients on products rather than just accepting marketing ploys. Cheers!
Thanks! HOpe you are having a good night :)
So much information flowing out of you without one pause! Amazing video.
You are a God Sent Dr Dray, your videos and advise have saved a lot of many for many people. A HUGE thank you 🙏
Thank you so much for writing all that out in the description!!
Thank you! You are an awesome doctor sharing and explaining skin care. I’m almost 60 and I have never felt like I was getting many of my questions answered... until now!
Thanks!
Ughh just came across your channel and I’m BEYOND happy I did cuz I love stuff like this
Wow, this was a much needed video! All your videos fill in major gaps within the TH-cam sphere of skincare tips/info!
I just bought a moisturizer not knowing and scared as hell, thinking the ingredients wouldn't help me with my skin concerns(dullness ) and hearing and reading the description bar, I noticed most of the main ingredients you mentioned were present!! Ugh I'm so happy!! I hope it works and thank you soo much Dr Dray for being so in depth and open with skincare! Love you so much!!
A "Skin Care By Andrea" line of products seems mandatory now. I just subscribed. I CANNOT seem to get through your videos quickly enough for my liking. A very sincere kudos to you; every woman needs to see your videos. Andrea, you are a gift to us. Thank you! I hope your efforts here manifest into something wonderful. My sis is an MD (Emergency Medicine) and she gets her share of free samples from Derms (of course I lovingly steal them) but I never really knew if they were good products or just free ones. Glad to see many Cerave in my loot. And now I have a much better, comprehensive understanding of their ingredients - both the good (but wrongfully demonized) vs. truly irritating. You've gifted us with powerful information and empowerment! You, Dr. Dray, Rock! (and Hey! from Austin, TX)
so greatful for this! I like to read ingredient lists of everything I put in and on my body, and I will admit that I have been duped by those 'in the know' who claim certain ingredients to be harmful or carcinogenic.. now I know the purpose of these and can make informed decisions. I really value this information, thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for all the effort and info you put into your vids. (That’s a big reason your channel is growing so quickly) I am a label reader for every product that I purchase. It is still very confusing so I advocate doing patch tests before applying a new product. Love your channel and vlogs with your mom!
Thanks!
Excellent video, Doc! You do your utmost to provide *good* information & this is a *wonderful* service you provide. I am so grateful for your efforts! You have come a LONG way since you started this channel. It's obvious that helping people is important to you & you teach well! Blessings! Jackie in NY state
Thanks!
I absolutely adore you and all that you do. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Your acne tips have changed my life. My skin shook my self esteem so much that I considered taking a leave of absence from University. I am graduating next month. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!
Thanks!
I can’t begin to thank you enough, please keep up the great work
Thanks!
Thanks so much for the ingredients list! It helped me a lot in checking whether my skincare products are safe and worth my money. And it will definitely help me in looking for future products.
This might be the single best skincare video I've ever seen. Thank you! ❤
Thanks!
This is one of the most incredible, helpful, informative videos I've ever seen, thank you so much for this!!!
:)
this is one of the most informative vid on skincare! thank you!
Love love love your educated, comprehensive content! TY for informing us so we can be our own proactive consumers, not swayed by a pretty bottle or ad campaign!..
thanks for watching
Very informative doc! I wish this video gets more viewers than any skincare guide ingredients in youtube.
Thank you so much for helping explain all that! I really want to know what each one is and what it does so I can easily read any label and have a better knowledge of what the product will do for me! Educating me on this subject is gonna save me so much money!! Thanks really, your videos are so helpful and easy for me to understand. You’re a great teacher!
I feel I have learned more about ingredients in this video than what I have ever tried to learn about them in my entire life. And that’s pretty crazy. Video already saved ❤
Thanks Dr. Dray!
I think I've watched this about 100 times. I keep coming back to it. Maybe it will sink in one of these days. I'm hoping by time 101. So helpful! I think I'm smarter (or sound like I am, at least to my sister). TY!
You're re so right about ingredients can be so confusing, conflicting statements on ingredients makes me crazy!...I appreciate your time and effort on educating us on reading labels, helps a lot! Thank you :)
:)
Thanks for taking the time to explain things clearly. I truly love your channel.
Thanks!
Awesome info, Doc! Thank you very much for teachin' and preachin'!
Thanks!
I *loved* this video. People often demonize mineral oil and SLES (sodium laureth sulfate) in this day and age, and whatever for! I still use my shampoos and still use my facial moisturizer that contains petrolatum. It helps lock moisture in my skin better than anything else I have tried for the face. Thank you so much for doing this one!
:)
Miss Andrea such a great video and so much info! I appreciate you educating us to make better skin care decisions! 💕
Thanks!
Hi Dr Dray. I want to personally thank you for your videos. I have learned so much and I appreciate every video that you do.
Thanks!
I’m so addicted to your videos Dr. Dray. Thank you x
thanks for watching
I love all of your videos! I have tried some of the products you recommended for dry and sensitive skin and my skin feels so much better. Thank you!!!
Thanks!
Just ordered the Hada Labo cleansing oil and foaming cleanser, can't wait to try them out! Your skincare care recommendations have never failed me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
:) hope you like it
Thank you so much for this video! I've been trying to find sources that outline this topic, but the information is unreliable or biased. This was extremely helpful, thanks again!
Thank you so much for the information in the description box! ❤️
this is very useful, I really appreciate that you give out these information. thank you so much.
Wake up, feed kitties, coffee and Dr. Dray~~~~you ease me into my day!!
You are so amazing for taking the time to share your knowledge! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Looked at the neutrogena hydroboost and it's basically a bunch of emollients, humectants and stuff to give it slip. So much dimethicone and variations of it. i never really researched each and every ingredient in skin care products cause it was so overwhelming and I didnt know where to start, this video was so helpful. After I graduate from cosmetology, I eventually want to go back to school for my esthetician license, so this information is gold to me! Keep up the awesome videos! Maybe one day I can learn how all these ingredients are sourced and made.
This was amazing. ❤ Thank you for always sharing your knowledge!
Your blogs are very informative on Skin care. I have been watching a very short time. By the way you looked radiant in one of your older blogs rocking the pink lipstick. It brightens up your face so much more.
Thank you. My 12-year old loves to watch your videos and we've both learned so much.
Thanks!
I loved this video. You explained things so good!
Thank you Dr. Dray! That was wonderful! Appreciate it so much! 👍😘
Thanks!
Gracias, gracias, gracias!!! Fantastic video. Extremely helpful.
So glad to hear :)
Thank you so much for this video! I am an ingredient reader junkie. You answered so many questions.
Thanks!
I’ve been vídeo binging since I discovered your channel, can’t stop !!! You are the best!!! Have a great day!!!
Thanks! Happy Friday!
Log in just to say thank you. I've been learning a lot watching your videoa and I truly appreciate it. I whish I had known about your channel way earlier 👍👍👍
Thank you so much!
Its the middle of the night and i must say, on top of great advice as always, im waiting for surgery impatiently still have many hours to wait and your videos are the only think keeping me saine while passing the time so THANK YOU
Love your videos! Thank you, Dr. Dray. I use Squalane neat without any issues. I put it on before heading to the gym in the morning and it keeps my face very soft. I use it primarily to eliminate any flaky skin from using trentinoin-works wonderfully. Best wishes.
:)
Now this is information that really matters, thank you ❤️
Great video! Super helpful! Thank you, keep em coming!!!!
thanks!
I don't know who the hell would dislike this kind of knowledgeable videos.
Everytime I start watching one of your videos I pause it and go make a cup of herbal tea. It's my thing now, tea and Dr Dray. :)
Anybody else find it hilarious that "toilet water" is listed in the middle of the fragrances list hahaha that just made my day
lol
lol it's adapted from French! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eau_de_toilette
🙄
😂😂🤣🤣they listed that on lots perfumes bottles eau de toilette
Does it mean pee?
Thank you so much for this information! You have helped me save so much money!
:)
Just getting around to watching this and really taking notes Thanks so much!!!
Hope you are having a good day Ms Julie :)
Dear dr Dray. Thank you. This is really one of the most useful skincare videos I have seen. Printed the list of ingredients and fragrance names (to avoid). You are a treasure!
thanks!
Thank you so much. This has been extremely informative. I always assumed that any thing that had alcohol or ethyl as an ingredient was bad and probably very drying. Love your vlog...looking forward to more videos. Thank you!
:)
Love your skin care reviews🙌🏼 and vlogs 💓!
Thanks!
The Hada Labo Skin Plumping Gel has 5% urea in it! I love that stuff.
Thank you so much! Such a good video!
Thanks!
I wish I could give more than one Thumbs Up” to this video!! Very helpful information to use when choosing skin care and makeup. Thank you.
glad you enjoyed :)
What a great video, chockful of information.Thank you! Squalene was an ingredient in one of my moisturisers & i had no problems with it.
Thanks!

Thank you...I feel so educated!
You’re channel is so informative thank you for shutting down those misconceptions out there and putting our fears to rest. More people need to watch your videos, they’re the best. Quick question, what can get rid of stretch marks? Does bio-derm really help? Or only Retin-a be used for it?
Thank you so much for the notes!!!!!!!
I’m one of the lucky ones whose skin loves squalane. I have it from the brand Timeless and just add a few drops to my moisturizer. My skin loves it. Thanks for all the great info in this video & the description box!
:)
Thank you very much Dr Dray for another excellent video. I really love your informative channel!
Thanks!
I’ve been kinder to my skin thanks to you Dr. Dray. You’re such a gem. Thank you for your dedication in advocating skin care.
Excellent information. We're blessed to have you and your knowledge at our fingertips. Ever think about writing a book for laymen like us to use? I think you should!
You know that would be a great idea. I know I would buy the book. Thank you for coming up with the idea.
Love that idea!!!
Okay, I think it's settled! We want a book, Dr. D!!!
stacy ketner
Yes please!
I need the book📖
I would definitely read that!
Once again, thank you so much. I'm truly struggling with melasma, using my daily sunscreen, but am at the mercy of OTC remedies. I really find these videos so very helpful.
Glad to hear this helped
Dr Dray it has so much. I can't believe it took me so long to find you. Now I'm power watching your videos. So much to learn. I'm so grateful. I'm sharing you with my friends and family 😊
Thanks for accompanying me at the gym! Getting educated while building up a sweat 🙌🏼
Thanks for watching! Hope you enjoyed your workout :)
Thanks for the breakdown Dr. Dray! We assume sometimes if we can't pronounce them that chemical ingredients are bad. Your breakdown with their attributes debunk our assumptions 😉
:) Thanks!
Cannot thank you enough for defining what is , for me at least, very confusing terminology. I have never had problems with my skin, and am about to turn 65 and am taken for much younger. Based on the public consensus I have done everything wrong. I wish there was a way to post a close-up of my skin without makeup. When I was young I didn't have the money for expensive products. I used Vaseline, castor oil, zinc oxide and baby oil. When sunscreen became available I added that. As an adult I just continued this since it worked for me. I adore the CeraVe in the 16oz tub, their mild cleanser, cleansing cloths and both the AM and PM moisturizers. This has been a new addition as I learned about them and how to use them properly through your advice. I took ballet for many years, and in high school was required to use very heavy stage make-up for recitals and competitions. If it were not for tubs of Vaseline that stuff would still be stuck to my face. My grandmother and mother always used castor oil to soothe their upper and lower eye lids. I buy it at CVS or whatever pharmacy is close by. No special type as long as it is sealed. Most say they are laxatives. I use Q-tips or finger tips to apply. Also great for correcting mascara mistakes. I am sure genetics play a part since my children and grandchildren have beautiful skin. I never was a sun worshipper so possibly that kept my pores small. By the time I hit 50, my pores began to disappear. In my mid 60s now my T zone is finally drying up, but no clogged pores from many years of using the WRONG products. HUGE HUGS and enormous gratitude for sharing so much knowledge. Btw I really agree with the idea of writing a book. You have so much knowledge to offer, in addition your sense of humor and presentation are delightful. Put it all together and it would make an extremely entertaining learning experience in print. Wishing you continued success no matter which direction you decide on. I honestly am certain that you have countless fellowship offers. Hope the sun is shining in Houston.
Thanks so much Ms Marya :) Hope you are having a good day
Wouldn't most of us love to have this lovely dermatologist right by us when we're in the skin care aisle faced w/ hundreds of products ?! 😁👍 How great would it be for her to be right by us, translating those long words on labels, telling us what would be best for us !?
Thanks to what I've learned, I have changed the liquid soap on our sinks to Cetaphil cleanser instead of SoftSoap.
I'm learning, tho, by binge-ing on her channel . So grateful for her sharing her vast knowledge.
Fabulous video! This is very informative and appreciated!!!💕
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing. As always I do appreciate your videos!
Thanks for watching
I love this video! Such great information! 🤙🏻❤️
Thanks!
Hi Doc, great video as per usual. What is your opinion on sorbolene cream?
Dr. Dray, love your videos ! So helpful! Thank you for making them! Can you make a video about how long you should keep skincare and cosmetics? If you have done something like this before maybe you can put the link here. I thought about this when you talked about preservatives. Always wondered this, since products can be expensive to throw out too soon. Some stores encourage you to buy new ones, maybe to sell more products ?
stores would encourage buying more, lol
Wonderful!!!! Ty!!!! You should write a book!
😄 A wealth of helpful info! 👍🏽Thank you Dr. Dray this was beyond helpful.
Thanks!
Wealth of knowledge,thank you so very much for sharing.
Thanks!
You’re amazing!! Thank you!!
Subcribed & Thank You so Much ... I’ve learned a LOT ! Love from Malaysia💗💗💗
I really loved this video, it was really informative.... I always have to read labels carefully because of my sensitivity. This will really help. Thank you!
Thanks! Glad to hear this was helpful
wow, thanks Dr Dray. great information!!
Dr. Dray = Credibility
This is a superb video. I printed your list from above for myself and my daughter as we continue to educate ourselves on skincare. I am 57 and she is 28. I have learned so much from you and am passing that along to her. Thank you so very much!!
That intro sips tea 🍵
I appreciate you, dr. Dray!!
